The 0.79-hectare parcel lies on the northern slope above the Layon, with a gradient of 10 to 25 per cent. The soil is silty-clayey over schist; the 14-year-old vines face north. The grapes ferment with indigenous yeasts and mature for 19 months on the full lees in 228- and 400-litre barriques. The dry wine is fruit-driven, generous and creamy, with fresh balance and a fine, slightly bitter schist note on the finish. The 2023 vintage is described as fresh and balanced.
